Dear Junior Folks: How many of you know what respect is due to the United States Flag? Some of you don't, Juniors so I am going to publish the Flag Code that was prepared by the State Flag Committee.

FLAG CODE When the flag is passing in parade, in review, or is being raised or lowered, the spectators should, if walking, halt, if sitting, arise, uncover, and stand at "attention." In handling the flag, it should not be allowed to touch the ground and never be allowed to lie upon the ground as a means of decoration, nor should it be laid flat with anything placed upon if. The flag should never be placed below a person sitting. When two American flags are crossed, the blue fields should face each other. When the flag is displayed from a staff, the blue field should be in the upper corner next the staff. From private flagpoles the flag may fly at all hours, day and night, with due respect to the colors. When the flag is shown horizontally, the blue field should be at the upper felt-hand corner to the observer; when vertically the blue should be at the upper right-hand corner; when in either position, the flag should be fastened only at the top. In decorating, the flag should never be festooned or draped ; always hung flat. The flag should never be worn as the whole or part of a costume. As a badge it should be worn over the left breast. When carried in parade or when crossed with other flags the Stars and Stripes should always be at the right. As an altar onvprinc the field should he at the rio-ht as

you face the altar, and nothing should be placed upon the flag except the Bible. When the flag is used in unveiling a statute or monument, it should not be allowed to fall to the ground, but should be carried aloft to wave out, forming ad istinctive featured uring th'e remainder of the ceremony. When the flag becomes old or soiled from use, it should be decently burned. Always stand when "The Star Spangled Banner is being played or sung, and protest when it is used in a medley. Let us remember these things, boys and girls, and show the grown-up folks that we too, know just what to do when the flag passes. 1 AUNT -MOLLY.

THE TRAMPS One day a man and a boy were seen walking along in the suburbs of a large manufacturing city. They stopped at the house of a large manufacturer and asked for work in order that they might get something to eat. The maid who opened the door slammed it shut and went about her work mumbling something about being Dothered by tramps. The two went out of the yard and across the street to another house and were chased out by a dog. They went on stopping at each house asking for work. Finally they went to ?. house in an old section of the cilr, where an old couple lived. The old lady took them in and fed them. While they were eating the woman asked them to tell her how they became beggars. They told her that the man had been a foreman in a manufacturing place in Chicago. Three hundred dollars disappeared from the department and he was accused of stealing it He had saved two hundred and seventy-five dollars. The company asked him to give two hundred dollars and, to avoid a law suit he foolishly gave it He went out to look for work but his reputation was known to all the manufacturing men and he could secure no work. The little money he had left soon gave out and he had to beg for food. They had been turned out of every place. The old man also added that the boy's mother had died when he was a baby. The man that owned the house had influence in a certain manufacturing place in that city, and after hearing the man's story he wrote a letter of recommendation to the factory. He then asked the man's name and learned that it was James Wells and that the boy's was Kenneth Wells. James Wells thanked the man many times and when he and his son were ready to go Mr. Blake (for that was the name of the man who owned the house), slipped something into Kenneth's hand. When he was outside Kenneth looked at the thing that had been placed m his hand and found that it was n fifty dollar bill.

"Look father, cried the excited boy, see what Mr. Blake gave me. You take it, I might lose It." Tlicy went to the factory that Mr. Blake had directed them. James secured a job as a blacksmith and Kenneth as an errand boy. They left the factory very happy and went to look for a house. They found oue near the home of Mr. Blake. Kenneth said that he would pay back to Mr. Blair the fifty dolars that he had given him. He kept his work for he took two dollars out of his wages every week and put it away for Mr. Blake, the rest he gave to his father. When Kenneth had saved up the fifty dollars he gave it to Mr. Blako but Mr. Blake did not want to take it so that afternoon he deposited the money in the bank in Kenneth's name and sent a messenger to Kenneth with the bank book. Mr. Wells bad also been saving all of his extra money. When he had worked in the factory three years he drew out all of his money from the bank and went to the home of his landlord. When he came from the home of the landlord lie property in which he lived was his. Kenneth was so happy that he had to tell Mr. Blake. A few days afterward Mr. Wells was called into the office of the superintendent. "Well," said the superintendent, "you have been with us three years, have you not? You have not been absent since you began work and you have always done well. I shall appoint you foreman of the blacksmith shop." Mr. Wells was so surprised that he could only say "Thank you." He started to go. "Wait a minute," said the superintendent, whose name was Hister. "Do you remember a little affair a few years ago in Chicago." He thrust a letter toward Wells. Wells took the letter and read it through. It was: Dear Mr. Hister: We have looked up the records and find that you have a man working for you by the name of James Wells. A few years ago he was accused of taking some money. He took all of his savings to pay the money back. Yesterday we found

AVIATION ITS VALUE TIME OF WAR. One of the most important branches In the U. S. army is the aviation. Before the present war very few people thought that aeroplanes could be useful in warfare. Today everybody is saying that this war will be won by the aeroplanes. Their usefulness has already been demonstrated by the European countries now at war. To make aeroplanes we must have money, materials, and a motor that will be suitable for every use. At the beginning of the war congress appropriated nine hundred and sixty-one million dollars for the building of aeroplanes. In the way of materials, there is no other country supplied as well as the United States. Some of the beet engineers invented a motor that is claimed to be very efficient. People are wondering why the United States has not produced more aeroplanes than she has. This is because of inefficient management which is now being remedied by the government. However, there are many Liberty motors ready in different automobile factories in the country. A3 soon as the aeroplanes are built the motors will be ready to be installed. The aeroplanes will win this war by these methods, by observing and taking photographs of the enemy's positions, by bombing expeditions, and by their efficiency in attacking enemy planes. After an aeroplane returns with photographs of enemy positions, the artillery can destroy these places by means of these photographs. The aeroplanes are very efficient for observing as has been shown in the war. Second, the bombing parties. Often a person will read in the papers about a bombing expedition against the enemy. French and English aviators have destroyed many supply stations in this way and have caused the enemy to lose many supplies. Third, their effiicency in attacking enemy planes. Since the war began the allies have destroyed about sixteen hundred aeroplanes. The highest number of planes brought down by one man is fifty-two. This was made by Captain Guynehimer of the French aviation- service. When America has all her planes in Europe, the war will be just the same as over. The best of instruction is given our aviators in the training camps. They receive part of their insthuction from French and English avia tors, who have taken an active part in the war. In this way our aviators can profit by the mistakes made by the Allies. Although there have been a few accidents in the training damps, there have comparatively few to the number now training. We read in the papers almost every day abont an American aviator bringing down an enemy plane or two. The aviators are ding very creditable work in France, although

the United States has only about

thirty aeroplanes over there. What will the United States do then, when she gets her entire aviation branch in France? It means the downfall of autocracy. Oran Par-

How We Can Win the War We are wishing that we will witf the war. And we want our wish to come true. We can make our wish come true by helping the men in the trenches. And one way is to be a 4 minute man. The next is to give our money to Uncle Sam, and let him buy food for our soldiers. The third is to buy thrift stamps and bonds. The money wiH go to Uncle Sam and he will buy army trucks, cannons, war ships, and clothing for the soldiers. Arthur Fisher, Sevastopol Sschool.

the real thief and so we are returning his money, with fifty dollars interest, to him through you. Yours truly, J. F. HARDING, Supt. The superintendent picked up a check for two hundred and fifty dollars that was lying on his desk and gave it to Wells. That night it was decided that Kenneth was to quit the factory and go to school. Elden Haas.
